Is it hard for you to wake up early in the morning and get to
school? We start at 7:15. just having to be here
everyday is hard enough, right?
Nobody knows better than I how hard it is to go to school everyday.
I’m in my 5th year of high school, a second time
senior. It was just so hard for me to wake up early everyday and
get to school. But I’ve learned strategies that have helped me with
my problem. The one I use for this situation is to ask myself the
question, “What’s good about this?”
Everyday I think what’s good about that particular school day. I
find something I like about that day and that motivates me to go to
school. Rather than being miserable because it’s “C” day or “G” day
of the schedule, I now have something I like about each day in the
cycle. And if I have a day that’s not as good as the others, that’s
the day I plan to meet some friends after school. No matter what
day it is, there’s already something good about it.
I also have a list of my goals hanging on my wall. One of my goals
is to graduate. Every morning when I see that, it motivates me to
accomplish that goal.
